A really big question

But i could not produce stable chemistry or life as we know it.

That just blows my mind into little diamond shards of broken tempered glass.

That just blows my mind into little diamond shards of broken tempered glass.

Given our current place in the universe.

With all our eggs in one basket.

At the arse end of the star's gravity well.

I think it's supposed to puggle our mere minds...

Pretty much suggests that if the laws or constants of nature were even slightly different.

Complex structures like as atoms, stars, planets, chemistry....ultimately life, could not exist.

I don't know if the universe would necessarily collapse.

But it could not produce stable chemistry or life as we know it.

Any small changes in fundamental laws for the way things work would change everything. Life might not have been possible or been unrecognisable as we know it. 

Did the universe get board and make us to observe and understand it simply because it wanted to see if we could? We can see parts of it, does it even notice us? 

In a way, it does behave as a single organism. Cells (star systems) grow, mature, and die only to be reformed and start over. And galaxies do this on a larger scale.
